Shops look to ban eggs and flour
Shops are being advised to ban youngsters from purchasing eggs and flour ahead of Hop Tu Naa next week.
The rule is enforced nationwide each year, due to a growing trend of pelting the foodstuffs at innocent property owners as a practical joke on 31 October.
Police say a 'minority' of troublemakers are causing residents to fear the tradition more than ghosts and ghouls.
Business owners have been issued with posters notifying aspiring bakers that they may be refused sale of their ingredients for the next week.
Anyone planning to celebrate Hop Tu Naa is asked to 'respect people's rights not to participate', and of course, beware Jinny the Witch.
